Dear members of the Mystical Body of Christ,
It is hard to believe that the first month of 2018 is already coming to a close. There are no regrets as January is one of the two coldest months in North America. That is when some of the rich Canadians travel South of the border, leaving the poor to endure the cold storms, the deep snow (sometimes rain), the icy roads, the unending wind and the minus 50 temperatures when the wind chill is considered. And if that is not enough, some of us have to put up with power failures, furnace breakdowns, cold vehicles that will not start, and for some, the need to take the dog out for a walk in this weather. I have just finished describing a cold Winter day in my country.
No matter what the weather is, we Catholics continue to persevere in our faith. We face the weather and still go to Holy Mass on Sundays and attend other services during the weekdays. Volunteers continue to bring the Holy Eucharist to the homes of those who cannot attend the Church because of old age or illness. We help the homeless to find a shelter. We continue to feed the hungry and provide clothing to the poor. We visit the seniors and bring the Word of God to the prisoners. We provide for the widows and the orphans. And the list goes on.
During the past month, Catholic Doors Ministry has continued to provide enriching material for the spiritual growth of its followers and visitors. What follows is a list of some of the website work that was accomplished during the past month.
Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
13 new FAQ were added to the website. The FAQ related to the Sexagesima Sunday, the Septuagesima Sunday. 4 kinds of pain, 33 things the Holy Spirit does, where to find the Apostle's Creed in the Bible, 20 keys to Heaven, 8 ways to pray during Adoration, the holy chalk practice, Divine faith, Divine revelation, the blessing of Sacramental Salt, the origin of Boxing Day and the most powerful Novena.

This year, make a special effort to show your love for Jesus by attending Ash Wednesday. Both Valentine Day and Ash Wednesday fall on the same day, February the 14th.
Latin Mass material
I went looking for good youtube videos related to the Latin Mass. You can view those by going here.
Links to audio Rosaries
I removed the 4 dead links on the webpage of audio Rosaries on MP3. At the same time, I went looking for other sources to increase your choice of Rosaries on audio. You now have a choice of 48 Rosaries from 12 different sources. You can view these beautiful selection by going here.
Links to Chaplets on Video
Then I went looking for links to chaplets on video. Some people prefer audio and video during their spiritual exercises. I found the following chaplets: of mercy and forgiveness, of Our Lady of Mercy, of Our Lady of Tears, of Our Lady's Tears, of protection, of the dead, of the Holy Face, of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the Mournful Heart of Jesus, of the Precious Blood of Jesus, of the united Hearts (Two Hearts), to Saint Michael, of Love, of Saint Gertrude, and the Mother of Mercy chaplet. by going here.
Links to live Eucharistic Adoration on webcams
Did you know that there are links on the internet to the Eucharistic Adoration in different locations? Such is done by having a webcam focus on the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and broadcasting that live as it takes place. You can see some examples by going here.
Links to movies on the lives of the Saints
Finally, I spent a day on youtube looking for Catholic movies on the lives of the Saints. That meant sorting to lots of garbage that is found on youtube, for the sole purpose of offending Catholics. I found the following good videos: the Life of St. Charbel, Diary of St. Gemma Galgani, Life of St. Anne Catherine Emmerich, Life of St. Rita de Cascia, Life of St. Dominic de Guzman, Life of St. John Marie Vianney, Life of St. Don Bosco, Life of the Apostle Peter and The last Supper, The Confession, Miracle of St Therese, Saint Catherine de Siena, Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Martin of Porres, Saint Francis Xavier, Saint Brother André de Bessette, and Saint Joseph of Cupertino. You can view them by going here.

Those Rosaries can also be viewed by going here.
Conclusion
That my friends summarizes my efforts during January to provide you with good resources that can benefit your spiritual growth in Christ. I pray that you will enjoy some or all of the spiritual material that glorifies the Heavenly Father and His eternal Church.
May the Lord Jesus bless you all with endless graces and worldly needs when such will benefit you.
